13 “The wings of the ostrich flap joyously, With the pinion and feathers of love,

14 For she abandons her eggs to the earth And warms them in the dust,

15 And she forgets that a foot may crush them, Or that a wild animal may trample them.

16 “She treats her young cruelly, as if they were not hers; Though her labor is for nothing, she is unconcerned,

17 Because God has made her forget wisdom, And has not given her a share of understanding.

18 “When she rushes away on high, She laughs at the horse and his rider.
